People across the nation are taking to the streets on March 28 to peacefully protest the Trump administration’s abuse of power. Heading out this weekend? Join our Know Your Rights While Protesting trainings where we'll discuss what you need to know to safely protest in your community.

Glades County Detention Center has a sordid history -- built for profit, relying on revenue bonds -- bonds backed by expected profits www.vera.org/in-our-backy...

The politicians and activists pushing these attacks are part of a well-funded and coordinated nationwide effort to remove trans people from public life. We can fight for the future our families deserve. Resist these attempts to push people into the shadows based on who they are or who they love.

Update: Dolores Huerta has released a statement. In it, she confirms the Times's reporting, and supports the other women who have come forward. "I have kept this secret long enough. My silence ends here."

The Cesar Chavez story discussed yesterday is out, in the New York Times. Two women say that he sexually assaulted them as children, beginning when they were 12 and 13. And Dolores Huerta says he raped her in 1966.

Grady Judd saying these words is actually ACTUALLY shocking

Anyone who knows Grady Judd just sprained the muscles that raise their eyebrows

Deportation must be polling like turds

"'I don’t mean give [non-criminal immigrants] a free pass,' Judd said, listing potential smaller ways to punish undocumented immigrants, including making them put their kids in school." This is more indication of a definitive shift away from hardline mass deportations from MAGA supporters.

I am legitimately shocked, yes.

Grady Judd endorsing immigration reform and calling for the Trump admin to pull back on deportation is seismic. He is a strong Trump and DeSantis ally who has been a hardliner on immigration for years.

He's doing the Black Bush bit. Stankonia is providing help 😭😭😭

This is a REALLY big deal. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “…we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family.”

RIGHT NOW Florida is ramming through a last-minute bill to give the state the power to designate groups as “domestic terrorists.” Students who “promote” a group would be expelled. Reporting shows it came from the Governor’s office after students protested the Israeli government.

Democrats in the Florida Senate tried to remove this provision but it failed on a 12-24 vote. One Republican senator – Sen. Alexis Calatyud (R-Miami) – voted to take it out of the bill.

Republican lawmakers in Florida are about to pass a bill designed to suppress turnout on on university and college campuses. The legislation (HB 991) would stop university students from using their student IDs as identification when they show up at their polling place to vote.

BAM ADEBAYO. FRANCHISE RECORD.

To those who respond with “Why bother” or “My rep doesn’t care” whenever orgs tell you to call and email: This is why. Advocacy matters. It can save lives. Don’t ever forget it.

Ron DeSantis’s office wrote a bill that can easily be abused to target organizations for speech because they didn’t like that college students were protesting the actions of a foreign government. No matter your politics, HB 1471 threatens your free speech. ACT NOW: action.aclu.org/send-message...

As Florida censors a college textbook on sociology, cutting mentions of ‘racism’ down from 115 to 6, the whitewashing of history and facts continues in the “Free State of Florida.…

There’s still time to kill this bill. The House will convene on Monday. Flood their inboxes opposing this bill!

Combine this with HB 1471 that’s very close to passing. It would allow the Florida Cabinet (stacked w/ DeSantis appointees) to designate nonprofits as “domestic terrorist organizations” and you have a very scary escalation of power in the state executive branch.

Special envoy for the shield

Markwayne Mullin is the most “defensive coordinator the whole team hates” option we have

We first called for Kristi Noem to be fired on Jan 27, 2026. Nearly 5 weeks later… she’s gone. This is proof that people power works when we raise our voices together.

New @thefloridatrib.bsky.social | Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has spent three-quarters of a billion dollars creating a kind of parallel national security apparatus. A controversial series of surveillance and domestic terrorist bills will add to that accounting. floridatrib.org/2026/03/03/c...

Leadership’s approach in a dispute with the Miami-Dade School Board, WLRN staff wrote in a letter, “has led to an unthinkable scenario.”

A Sunday morning march to the Whipple Federal Building ended with state police and sheriff’s deputies making mass arrests once again, continuing a trend among state and local law enforcement to crackdown on protests against ICE in Minnesota. unicornriot.ninja/2026/police-...

This bill has been flying under the radar, with not much media reporting on it. Constitutional experts call it terrifying. What happens here will spread to other states. We have to turn up the volume. Send an email and tell your fellow Floridians. action.aclu.org/send-message...

🚨 Florida is fast-tracking a bill that would allow a handful of state officials to label a group a “domestic terrorist organization” without basic due process. It’s on track to pass next week. Lawmakers need to hear from as many people as possible NOW 👇

Sitting here listening to Radio Martí on shortwave radio and the US government is currently running AI-voiced programming to the island telling Cubans they will destroy their families if they try to migrate.

Exploiting local and state law enforcement to carry out immigration enforcement shifts resources away from community safety and puts us all in danger. Read our new report in full.

NEW: We released a report examining how the Trump administration is transforming state and local police into a national deportation force by expanding the 287(g) program.

Over $500 million to build a detention center in the middle of the Everglades in a matter of weeks. There’s plenty of money and infrastructure to make sure no one goes homeless. There’s just no desire to do it.

ICYMI: DeSantis spent $573 million on immigration. The feds may never pay Florida back Florida Trib Reporter Kate Payne found court records earlier this month where DOJ attorneys argued that no “final federal funding decision” had been made by FEMA. floridatrib.org/2026/02/06/d...

I 4-1 really enjoyed the North London Derby

I’m afraid that per the IOC agreement, Canada must now abolish the metric system 🇺🇸🦅

Florida’s trying to pass a state SAVE Act to require a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. A similar law in Kansas led to 31 THOUSAND citizens blocked from voting. SB 1334 is in the Transportation, Tourism, & Economic Development Committee this morning. Watch on Florida Channel

Counterpoints: It's not a great question, and you do know the answer.

This was such a fun watch
